Calendar of Events

Dear PMI Belgium members and affiliates,

We have the pleasure to offer you an exclusive event hosted at Brussels Airport by Brussels Airport Company (BAC).  We’ll have look at the organizational transformation of BAC and we’ll have the chance to go backstage in the operations of the airport.

The operating context for airports is changing rapidly.  The old model of just assuring the flight movements and the safety of the passengers is no longer enough to compete in today’s aviation world.  New business lines must be developed and scaled and run efficiently.  The concept of “customer of the airport” is evolving and the expectations of the customer are best described as liquid.  BAC has chosen for a transformation to gear up for the decades to come.

To support such a transformation, the concept of the PMO has evolve too.  The evolution of the BAC PMO is this evening’s topic.  BAC will be sharing the problems faced by the transformation and their evolving answer from a PMO standpoint.  This presentation will not be a presentation about templates and workflows, it shall address fundamental strategic issues and the corresponding strategic answer by PMO eg. How to design your PMO and Portfolios to tailor to a flexible organization, where departments are reorganized on a regular basis.

Next to the presentation, BAC is offering an exclusive tour behind the scenes of Brussels Airport.  You’ll have the opportunity to visit the complex infrastructure to handle 41.917 luggage pieces per day, the fire and emergency service, who can reach every point in the airport within 2 min time and more. 

Since the tours behind the scenes require a security check, you will be requested to add a copy of your identification during the registration process. For Belgian nationals, a copy of the ID card front and back will suffice, for non-Belgian nationals a copy of the passport will be required.

The evening will end with a networking drink and some food to engage with each other.
